Venus Suckling Cupido is a 1532 oil by Camillo Boccaccino, a Mannerism work, held at Pinacoteca di Brera.
In the painting, a woman kneels in a lush forest, surrounded by trees and a serene lake in the background. She is nude, with a pink cloth draped around her waist, and her hair is styled in an elegant updo. The woman gently holds a cherub, who is also nude, against her chest. The cherub has large wings and looks up at the woman with a sense of wonder. The woman's expression is calm and nurturing, as she cradles the cherub in her arms. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of peace and tranquility, with the natural beauty of the forest serving as a backdrop for the tender moment between the woman and the cherub.
